🎃 Meeting the Mayor of Hayle and presenting to the Hayle Town Council

Posted 2 years ago by the Penpol Pumpkins

This evening seven of the Pumpkins assembled at Hayle Community Centre to meet Hayle Town Council.  Before this the Mayor of Hayle, Councillor Anne-Marie Rance and Deputy Mayor, June Lawrenson-Reid joined us outside for a photograph.

Once in the meeting itself the Pumpkins shared their experiences of the competition so far, the different elements they have worked so hard on and how excited they are to be going to America.  They also expressed our sincere thanks to the whole of Hayle and the wider community for all of the support with helping us reach our fundraising goal last week.

Once the children had shared their perspective, it was the turn of the Council to share theirs.  They were delighted to hear how well the children have done and how hard they’ve worked.  To this end they recognised their extraordinary achievement with a beautiful award in the form of an intricately decorated plate featuring the six different neighbourhoods of Hayle – which was a real honour to receive.
